- If Allison was stood, three quarters of a yard to his left.... half a yard deeper & had his hands a quarter of a yard higher; he still wouldn’t have saved it !
- Involved in some discussion/debate about Goalkeepers ‘blocking & spreading’. My thoughts led me to the below doodle… Plenty of further factors to consider also 🧠 🥅🧤⚽️
- Today marks the final day of Martin Thomas’ 27 year career at The FA, a well earned retirement awaits. Those fortunate to have experienced Thommo on the pitch, off the pitch or in social surroundings will know & appreciate the true greatness of the man. THANK YOU Thommo 🥅🧤⚽️
- Everybody involved in supporting/developing youth football over many years, I hope this moment makes you proud. 🦁🦁🦁
- A webinar recently recorded & shared for @FALearning on ‘Goalkeeping Practice Design’ Take a look 👀👂🏼👇🏼 🥅🧤⚽️
- Excellent 4 days for 16 of our 🏴 Goalkeepers at our Men’s Goalkeeping Camp last week. Opportunity for the 🐈’s to showcase their ‘winning’ characteristics, stretch/support their effectiveness & help set goals for the future. Some examples of our practice designs 👇🏼 🥅🧤⚽️
- Splendid time spent with some talented 🐈’s of the future on our @England Goalkeeping Camp this week 🙌🏼 🥅🧤⚽️
- ⚠️ Goalkeeping Coaches ⚠️ A fascinating insight from a top Goalkeeper who’s varied & unique pathway has allowed him to share this advice/opinion on ‘what is needed from us Goalkeeping coaches’ A must listen 👂🏼 youtu.be/Gb5w2Xa3lx8 🥅🧤⚽️
- ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ Some of these drills are random & as such are forcing the Goalkeepers taking part to make a variety of decisions and unique saves! Be careful out there guys! 🥅🧤⚽️
00:00 - I still struggle to understand why much Goalkeeping pre-season training (& some in-season training) consists of repeated maximum effort actions for completely unrealistic repetition/timings 🤷🏼♂️ Can efforts be truly maximal if you’re repeating them for a sustained period of time!
- “Size is a mere visual representation of how tall/big someone is... how that person plays the game, makes decisions & projects their character is more important than that size”
